Care and Concern Interventions to Address Substance Use and Mental Health in Rural Communities
2024-12-10 14:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Virtual
As we think about the impact of substance use and mental health within rural communities, a key component is accessing the resources available. In this webinar, we will discuss potential interventions that can be implemented or strengthened within rural communities. This workshop will focus on how providers and community members can develop collaborative networks to support members of their community who may be facing substance use and mental health challenges in their daily lives. We will also discuss potential prevention methods to be introduced within community spaces to reduce the impact of substance use on individuals and families, and increase engagement in mental health care.

Overdose Safety Planning in Rural Communities
2024-12-16 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
A significant challenge facing rural community members is how to work with those who are struggling with opioid use and other substance use while effectively intervening to reduce the risks associated with overdose. Safety planning is an important aspect of overdose prevention. In keeping with harm reduction principles, this webinar will explore best practices for overdose prevention so that community members feel more empowered to conduct safety planning with those individuals at risk.

The Caring Connection: Trauma-Informed Care and Recovery Planning (in Rural Settings)
2024-12-17 09:30 - 11:30 | Virtual
Many providers and agencies in rural communities are familiar with the core components of both Trauma-Informed Care and Recovery Planning but may not be familiar with the preparation necessary to provide trauma-informed recovery planning in collaboration with their clients. While working with clients to both plan for their recovery and address challenges to their recovery, trauma in its many forms has a role to play as a part of this planning. This workshop will lean into providers and caregivers identifying and recognizing the role and impact of trauma on recovery planning and how to work with clients to identify when trauma activation may impact their recovery plan This workshop will review the core components of trauma-informed care and lean into how to work with clients to identify how and when trauma impacts during their recovery journey.

Responsive Care: The Experiences of Women and Children along the Care Continuum in Rural Communities
2024-12-18 14:00 - 15:00 | Virtual
As the number of individuals who are challenged by substance use and mental health continue to be on the rise, we are at a crossroads when it comes to the care of women and their children. While the number of programs who offer specific services to women and their children are increasing across the state, there continues to be need for more gender-responsive programming in substance use and mental health programs to address the unique needs of women and their children. This challenge is even more significant in rural communities where there are significant barriers to service accessibility. This workshop will lean into specific challenges as they relate to women impacted by both substance use and mental health concerns and the impact on children in their care.

SSW Webinar - Addiction and Recovery: Where We Have Been, Where We Are Going
2025-01-08 10:00 - 13:00 | Virtual
This course examines how the field of addiction treatment and recovery has evolved since the development of 12-step recovery spaces in the 1950’s, from societal conceptualizations about addiction to how treatment and evidence-based practices have shaped what we now call clinical addiction treatment. Particular attention will be paid to how paradigms, stigma, and oppressive systems have influenced and shaped addiction and treatment trends. Participants will critically examine the successes and pitfalls of addiction treatment as it stands today, including specific models and systems of recovery and what the field calls “evidence-based practices”. Special attention will be paid to how the fields of neuroscience, epigenetics, and neuropharmacology have informed what we know today about addiction, and what it means for integrative recovery strategies moving forward.

Cannabis and Adolescents: An Overview of the Science and Concerns from Leading Experts
2025-01-15 01:00 - 14:30 | Virtual
Join us for an engaging webinar on January 15, 2025, on the complex relationship between cannabis use and adolescent development with Dr. Mark Gold, M.D., and Dr. Sarah Vinson, M.D. The presentations will explore the effects of cannabis on adolescent brain development, its potential long-term consequences, and emerging trends in use among younger populations.

Dr. Mark Gold, M.D., is a trailblazing figure in addiction and psychiatry, known for his transformative contributions across multiple medical fields. With over 1,000 peer-reviewed publications and 30,000 academic citations, his work has left an indelible mark on the medical community. Dr. Gold is a founding member and director of the McKnight Brain Institute and is celebrated for modernizing addiction medicine training. His pioneering research on opioid dependence led to groundbreaking theories on addiction and withdrawal, and he discovered the effectiveness of alpha-2 adrenergic agonists, such as clonidine and lofexidine, in easing withdrawal symptoms. Collaborating with colleagues, he revolutionized addiction psychiatry by introducing evidence-based care and medication-assisted treatments. His insights have advanced opioid use disorder treatments and expanded our understanding of cocaine’s impact on dopamine and addiction. As a visiting professor, editor, and researcher, Dr. Gold continues to influence the field of translational neuroscience.

Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson, M.D., is a leading expert in adult, child & adolescent, and forensic psychiatry.

NeC-ROTAC Webinar: How to Have the Conversation: Talking about Substance Use and Mental Health (in Rural Spaces)
2025-01-17 10:00 - 12:00 | Virtual
One of the most significant challenges that we all have is starting the conversation around substance use and mental health. Although we may feel more prepared to have these conversations in specific community spaces, they can happen at any time and in any space. This workshop will focus on providing the tools to start the conversation whenever the opportunity arises. We will be focusing on tools and talking points that anyone from a provider to a community member can use to engage individuals around behavioral health. We will also discuss the impact of stigma and fear regarding disclosing the need for services, and how to support individuals around accessing and staying engaged in services that meet their individual needs.

NeC-ROTAC Webinar: The Interconnection between Health Equity, the Social Determinants of Health and the Impact of Intersectionality (in Rural Communities)
2025-01-23 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
As we lean more and more into equity in a variety of spaces and places, health equity has become a significant part of this ongoing conversation. Health equity and the social determinants of health are interconnected in a variety of ways when working with our clients, not just around health outcomes, but improving their overall quality of life. Another aspect to this connection is the concept of intersectionality and how it has an impact on how and why clients may or may not access care or have adequate access to receive care. This workshop will lean into the connection between health equity, the social determinants of health, and intersectionality.
